I won't be notifying of every new package added to the overlay, just the ones that are significant to me and have substantial stacks of depends.
As of yesterday, Dist::Zilla [1] is available on the Gentoo Perl Overlay [2]
Hopefully this encourages the use of the awesome module.
( I've been doing this on my own branch for a few months, and only integrated it yesterday, which is why you'll see lots of back-history arriving overnight )
